The flossing spirit for Halloween:

Martians Flossing

A couple of years ago we broke an exclusive story about floss on Mars -
Floss was found on a wheel of the Mars Rover!
Now we've found a scene from the upcoming sequel to The Martian
(Sure they'll be a sequel - it will be like the sequel to Home Alone, crossed with a (dreaded) sequel to Interstellar (Let that guy rest!).

Matt Damon, again stuck on Mars, meets a Martian and they bond through shared flossing experiences.
Here's a still from the sequel:

Floss on! And Happy Halloween from the National Flossing Council!

Tooth Wise Candy Tips for Halloween

Not all candy is created equal - when it comes to promoting tooth decay.
It's obvious and true that candy that sticks between teeth, like gummies and caramels, can be rated as a lot worse than sugary, but easier to clean treats, such as chocolates.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists has a nice artice about how parents might help their kids minimize the dental health risks associated with Halloween treats.

And the advice isn't only good for kids!

Here's the LINK.

Happy Halloween - and don't forget to floss!

Flossing Halloween Costumes

Here's one of last year's Flossing Halloween Costumes - The Flossing Vampire.
Vampire's teeth may not rot, but if they don't floss, their mouth will smell like the bottom of a coffin!
Would Bill Compton on True Blood have a chance with Sookie Stackhouse if he didn't floss?
I can't wait until the writers show Bill flossing!
